Mixture design is a type of DOE that takes advantage of the fact that the proportions of the ingredients of a mixture must add up to 100% to reduce the number of experimental runs required to evaluate the design space.
Current work is focused on controlling the interfacial barrier to produce systems in which reactive species can be isolated in the same solution and then mixed upon application.
A new generation of hybrid waterborne alkyd dispersions has been specifically designed and developed to provide the best protection on horizontal and some vertical wood surfaces.
This article describes a designed set of experiments that compared the coatings properties of two-component waterborne polyurethane coatings and two-component solventborne polyurethane coatings.
The architectural design of a new amine epoxy hardener by molecular engineering has been shown to meet increasingly stringent market demands on legislation compliance, operator and environmental impact, and high productivity while showing excellent cost-performance balance of self-leveling epoxy systems.
It has been demonstrated that a judicious choice of two HM-NSPs – one being weakly associative and the other being strongly associative – can provide the target rheology for allacrylic and styrene-acrylic-based waterborne coatings.
This study demonstrates that a waterborne acrylic coating system designed for finishing wood products can perform well compared to traditional solventborne finishes.
